Iberia Salt works; Il. L. Saunders, of the
jackson, Meridian & Nicksburg railroad; G.
W Gibson, of the Aberdeen board of trade,

sion Of the fourth clause.

of commerce favoring the full enforcement Of
the law was received John J. GargaId, who
presented the resolution, said that the testi-
mony given 50 far was by railroads and those
interested in railroads. His personal expert
ence showed him that the mass of people ia

LOUISVILLE, KY, May 3.-After all that
has been written and spoken concerning the
attitude and temper Of the Kentucky pemoc-
racy toward the national administration the
indications now are that the state convention
which assemblies here at noon Wednesday,
will give the president and his policy a cor
dial and unanimous Endorsement. Although
Kentucky Democrats have not just exactly
been enthusiastic over some parts of the pres
ident's pohcy-notably civil service reform
the view seems TO obtain that the state con
vention should sound the keynote of the ma
tionai convention so far as the nominee is
concerned and rally on Cleveland for sec
ond term. Judge Fleming, very prominent
man III state politics, says: 'ln view of hIs
untiring energy, his integrity, and his patri-
otlsin, we feel that in times like these such
qualifications are so important in public
man occupying such position that we
should be willing to sink all other side is
sues y
According to one of the chiefs of the state
Democracy. however, there is a special reason
why the convention should place itself ON rec
ord as Jeing'in accord with the administration.
This gentleman is authority for the statement
that Speaker Carlisle viii he vigorously pushed
for the second place on the next Democratic
presidential ticket. There is luck in allitcra-
ton" he said, land the two 'C's,' Cleveland
and Carlisle, would prove magic cry. Now,
if the Democracy of Kentucky, through chosen
delegates, EXPRESSES its willingness to overlook
the presidents sins of omission and commission,
we can go with veyy good grace to the
national convention next year and ask
that the vice presidency he given
to the south, and to that stale in the south
which, having been the most vigorous in the
| matter of fault-tinding, was Yet the most
ready 10 recognize Mr. CleNelandS
cardinal virtues and to urge bis reorganization
